Tsembla bandcamp updated with the Dances tape released by Paitapes in the beginnning of summer. Four tracks made for dance and live performances 2016 – one for Sandrina Lindgren’s dance piece The Olympic Shames and three for a tour in Japan last year. Cover art by Niko Karlsson.

Tsembla live at Nya Perspektiv, Västerås, Sweden, 1 July 2017. The set was partly prepared and rehearsed during my residency at EMS Stockholm the two previous weeks and includes some samples of my work there with the Buchla systems, as well as field recordings from Skyros, Greece and a Tokyo burial ground.

The performace shows one flower’s growth from a seed to a blooming plant. The making of the performance has been inspired by the wonder of all that is alive and the diverse miracles of growth. The porous and soft structure of the non-verbal performance, as well as the combination of different elements give space for a small spectator’s own imagination and associations. The half-hour long performance is suitable for children ages 1-12 years.

Choreography: Kaisa Koulu and Anna Torkkel together with Elli Syrjänen
